Leeds United fans will love what Marcelo Bielsa did after Patrick Bamford equaliser

It's been a season of late goals for Leeds United this season and the Whites have secured points in stoppage time in both their last two games, as Raphinha struck a late penalty to bring a win against Crystal Palace, whilst Patrick Bamford kneed the ball home from a corner to equalise against Brentford.

Thanks to Leeds' 'All the angles' video on their YouTube channel, Leeds fans can see how Marcelo Bielsa responded to the goal which sent Elland Road into raptures and Bamford charging down the touchline with his shirt swinging over his head.

With carnage going on in the stands and Illan Meslier attempting a knee slide which sent him tumbling, Bielsa can be seen striding around his technical area pumping both fists and shouting in celebration.

On Twitter, @LeedsAllOver wrote "Bielsa’s aggressive double fist-shaking will go under the radar from this, you can see how much that goal meant to everyone in the ground."

It's clear that Bielsa and his side are fighting for every point, regardless of how well they might be playing at the moment, with chances not flowing as easily as they have done in the past under the Argentine.

In Sunday's game, Bielsa's men had taken the lead through Tyler Roberts' first goal of the season as he slid in to finish Raphinha's cross from the left.

However, the Whites failed to capitalise on their lead in the second half, as Shandon Baptiste and Sergi Canos scored to take advantage of Leeds' man-marking falling apart as Kalvin Phillips was removed with an injury.

Leeds laboured for an equaliser and didn't seem likely to score it until Bamford's instinctive finish after Raphinha's corner was headed on by Ayling in injury time.
